I verified this on the Docker hosts using &ldquo;docker ps -a,&rdquo; and yes, all container instances were correctly removed. But the service in Rancher was still stuck in removing.</p> <p>Furthermore, in Admin -&gt; Processes the service.remove processes (which seem to because of being stuck in that service removing in progress) never disappeared and were re-started every 2 minutes:</p> <p><img src="https://support.tools/images/how-to-resolve-a-service-stuck-in-removing/rancher-service-remove-running_small.jpg" alt=""> <img src="https://support.tools/images/how-to-resolve-a-service-stuck-in-removing/rancher-service-remove-restarted_small.jpg" alt=""></p> <p>Although I&rsquo;m not sure what caused this, the reason <em>might</em> be several actions happening on that particular service almost at the same time:</p> <p><img src="https://support.tools/images/how-to-resolve-a-service-stuck-in-removing/rancher-audit-logs_small.jpg" alt=""></p>
